In that case consider going dry clutch, it works on the 600 using a 750 rattle clutch casing so will work on the 750's too.

There's how to's on the forum

I like the slimmed down carbon fibre one that comes with a relocation piece for the number plate but means you dont have to chop off the rear frame rails. I was originally going for the cut down look but have since picked up a Givi mount kit that uses that rear frame and am also on the look out for a small Renntec type mini rack for daily use which would also need some where solid to mount to.

Welcome, bike looks well and good price, I like it as it is, black covers fine, nice high cans yes, maybe some mirrors but I think an all black bike becomes a bit invisible? Only my worthless opinion, crack on and enjoy!

Welcome aboard, I'm just down the road in Haverhill.
As for the forks, why not have them anodized? Easier to maintain, and a durable finish.

The problem with anodising black is it'll be hard not to scratch finish re-installing the legs.

Fork yokes are a pretty tight fit even when undone, and it takes a fair bit of twisting and shoving to get them in and out.

Welcome to the M750 world. As said, belts is top priority as I remember in mine really needing the change when I bought her second hand. It is not a rule of thumb but it happens sometimes that people sell their bikes just before a major servicing so if yours has not had it yet, maybe it is time to book one.

All mods you propose sound exciting and I would say exhausts are one of the key ones.

Good luck and see you around.

Well i got the bike serviced on wednesday and it flew through - only requiring normal service parts etc.

So now i know the bike is in good mechanical condition I can get on with modifying it!
